Judaism's Moral Challenge
Set Forth • 12 Principles

at Closing Session of Its 39th Biennial 'Council;
Adolph Rosenberg Re-Elected President

CINCINNATI.—A 12-point statement of principles, en-
titled "Judaism and the Moral Challenges of Today," was
adopted by delegates at the final day's session of the 39th
Biennial Council of the Union of American Hebrew con-
gregations.
At a post-convention meeting of the executive board,

Adolph Rosenberg of Cincinnati
was re-elected president of the
Union. Irving I. Katz was re-
elected president of the National!
Association of Temple Secretar-
ies. Harry C. Grossman of De-
troit was chosen a member of th
JAH executive board.
The declaration of faith urges:
1. The support
of "The
United Nations Organization as
an instrument to outlaw wars, to
establish justice, and to promote
good will."
2. This country to "take the
initiative in outlawing the atomic
bomb as a weapon of warfare
and in - utilizing atomic energy
for the advancement of human
welfare."
Equality of Races
3. The education and full
emancipation of all peoples
without exception in accordance
with the belief held of "the
equality of all races before God."
4. Federal fair employment
legislation "to combat discrimin-
ation against many minority
groups in many phases of our
communal life."
5. "A decent standard of life
for all elements of our popula-
tion" to "establish economic se-
curity" and bring about a speedy
"industrial peace."
6. Adequate housing, employ-
ment and other essentials for
"decent living" for veterans as an
expression of "a grateful nation."
Extension of UNRRA
6. "The extension and the in-
tensification of the work of
UNRRA and other agencies en-
gaged in bringing relief to the
large number of displaced per-
sons and suffering peoples of
many nations and all faiths in
the war-tom lands."
8. Support of President Tru-
man's appeal "to feed the hungry
people of the world."
9. Support of the $100,000,000
campaign of the United Jewish
Appeal which was called "a hero-
ic undertaking to alleViate in
some measure the woes of the
surviving Jews of Europe."
10. Immediate abrogation of
the British White Paper and the
opening of Palestine "to- un-
restricted Jewish immigration
for the settlement of Jewish
homeless."
11. Acceptance of the religi-
ous principle "that the divine
retribution comes to men and
nations who flagrantly violate
the laws of God by aggression
and, tyrannies."
12. Continued condemnation
of anti-Semitism in accordance
with the experiences of the past
decade, which have revealed
that it sows an "evil harvest of
ill-will among men."

NER TAMID MEDAL

Designed to help Jewish boys
who are Scouts observe the 12th
Scout Law, "A Scout is Rever-
ent," the Jewish Committee on
Scouting, an Advisory Commit-
tee of the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca, announced, through its chair-
man, Frank L. Weil, a reverence
recognition program known as
the Ner Tamid Scout Award. The
award is a bronze medal repre-
senting the Eternal Light which

Similar reverence recognition
awards have been developed by
the Catholic and Protestant Com-
mittees on Scouting.
To obtain the Ner Tamid
Award, a Boy Scout must show
that he has satisfactory know-
ledge of Jewish history and that
he has fulfilled certain home and
synagogue observances. R e -
quirements for the Ner -Tamid
Award appear in an attractive
pamphlet, "Ner Tamid Scout
Award," a guide for Rabbis,
Counselors and Scout leaders. A
copy may be obtained at Local
Boy Scout offices, or by writing
to the Jewish Committee on
Scouting, 2 Park Ave., New York,
16, N. Y.
Requirements for the Ner
Tamid Scout Award were devel-
oped by the Jewish Committee
on Scouting with the assistance
of the Jewish Education Com-
mittee of New York.

sponsored by the American
Jewish Conference, at whose re-
quest. Dr. Grinberg was flown to
the U. S. from Munich. •
Dr. Grinberg said he spoke not
only for the Jewish survivors,
but for those who died, and left
a holy testament which was
"inscribed on our souls by
chattering machine guns, ab--
sorbed into our skulls through
the fumes of gas chambers,
burned into our hearts by the
pitiless fire of crematoria:" He
appealed to American Jewry to
help the displaced Jews achieve
their goal—to leave Germany
and 0 to Palestine.

WASHINGTON — American
Jewry presented united opposi-
tion to the Gossett Bill (H. R.
3663), which seeks to reduce
immigration quotas by one-half
for the next 10 years, in the
testimony of Judge Nathan D.
Perlman, Justice of the Court of
Special Sessions of the City of
the City of New York, before
the Committee on Immigration
and Naturalization of the House
of Representatives.
Speaking in behalf of the Am-
erican Jewish Committee, Ameri-
can Jewish Congress, Bnai Brith,
Jewish Labor Committee, Jewish
War Veterans of the United
States, Union of American He-
brew Congregations, and 20
Community Relations Councils
throughout the country, as well
as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society, and the National Coun-
cil of Jewish Women, Judge
Perlman declared:
"Rather than considering a
proposal for the further exclusion
of a few of the great mass of
helpless persons, the Congress of
the U. S. might more appro-
priately be concerned with means
whereby national quotas may be
combined and the total quotas of
153,000 a year be made available
for admission of victims of the
Nazi terror, together with other
eligible immigrants, without re-
gard to birthplace or religion."
The unified presentation of
Jewish views was made possible
through the offices of the Nation-
al Community Relations Advisory
Council which coordinates the
community relations activities of
Jewish agencies in the U. S.
